What Are Hypertrophic Scars?
Hypertrophic scars are raised, firm scars that form within the original injury site due to excess collagen during healing. According to the American Academy of Dermatology, up to 91% of deep skin injuries can result in hypertrophic scars without proper treatment. These scars may be red, thick, and sometimes itchy or painful.
